The Big Switch-a-Roo

I absolutely love my children's art work. I have tons and tons of it. Now I was picky about the art work I kept from school to avoid having to rent storage space to hold it all. My basic rule was that if any part of it was created by a copy machine, I allowed myself to toss it in the recycling bin.

Anyway, I've got several of their awesome ceramic works around the house. Some decorative, some useful. The other day I was admiring one that must have been from around first or second grade. I turned it in my hands, the texture familiar to my mommy fingers. I tipped it over so I could read the bottom to remember which of my kids had created it...and, clearly on the bottom it said, "Antonio". Now this would have been fine and dandy had it been one of my kids' names, but that is not the case.

So am I going to pursue finding "Antonio"? Likely not. Do I wonder if Antonio's mom has my kid's work? I kind of do. Am I going to keep it? You bet...I've grown to love the darn thing.

ABOUT ME

My name is Kali Parsons and I absolutely love to create. I paint or sew almost every single day and have been doing so since 2011. I use a wide range of media including acrylic, watercolor, ink, charcoal, collage, and textiles (I love to upcycle unwanted clothing!). I'm inspired by both wonder and challenge and hope to bring joy and provoke deep thought with my work. My original paintings are available on my Daily Paintworks site and prints are available on my Etsy site. I frequently sell my art to fundraise for organizations close to my heart. Please subscribe to my blog if you'd like to receive my blog via email.
